By Heide Brandes OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma is set to put to death two men convicted of murder and rape in unrelated cases in a double execution on Tuesday after ending a several weeks' long legal fight over the secrecy concerning the state's lethal injection procedure. Clayton Lockett and Charles Warner will be put to death after Oklahoma's Supreme Court lifted their stays last week, saying the state had provided them with enough information about the lethal injection cocktail to meet constitutional requirements. Lockett will be executed first. He was found to have shot teen-ager Stephanie Nieman and burying her alive in a shallow grave where she eventually died.
